Vegan Pumpkin Spice Donuts

These quick and easy Vegan Pumpkin Spice Donuts topped with maple glaze and cinnamon sugar are the absolute perfect Fall treat for all donut lovers!

My deep seeded love for donuts strikes again. I sometimes gawk at the fact vegan donuts are basically impossible to find in Calgary, but then I remember that making your own are so much more satisfying, healthy, and delicious. And since it’s the season of pumpkin everything, a pumpkin spice donut recipe was inevitable.

This recipe got me thinking, though. It was one of those critical thinking moments when you ponder things that are extraordinarily important in the universe and all its vastness.
Things like: “Why TF are donuts called donuts?..” 🤔

I have no definitive answer. And apparently neither does Google, only theories. So that was the end of that thought. Instead of contemplating why donuts are donuts, I will just stick to eating them, thank you very much.

And eat them I did! But before I ate them, I decided to do more donut research because, well, I just needed to find out what the shape of a donut was called. My abandonment of donut research was short lived apparently.

If anyone is interested, a donut shape does indeed exist, and it’s called a torus. Yup. Droppin’ facts today. That was the last of my research, then all that was left to be done was to eat them!

Another fact for ya is that these are delicious. The donut itself is nice and light and fluffy, and the tinge of maple in the glaze with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar make them taste like Fall and all it’s spicy sweetness. Mhm, pumpkin spice wins again.
Enjoy, friends!
